Bob Meets World this is a great blog. It is a very funny collection of stuff most of it very funny this post made me laugh out loud. Judging by its worth I’m not alone.
Bob Meets World is worth $313,884.24.

As ever a great collection of observations exaclty the sort of thing to spend time over a coffee between jobs.

He has achived his abition of being in the top 10k at Technorati and it is no wonder. A well deserved inclusion in the list below. I wonder if Bob actually wanted to be included? Still it took me to the site and I’d suggest you get there too.

The Dilbert Blog is an interesting place. Written be the creator of one of the most popular cartoon characters in the USA. Yet you will not find a single frame of the charater here. If that sounds like a negative it is unintentional. This is a great blog, it tells the reader someting about this great creative mind. Once again I would argue (maybe everyone agrees?) that the point of a blog is some insight to the mind and life of the writer. If you like creative places this is one of the first I’d recomend you visit. For the record it is worth a few bucks
This blog is worth $2,170,091.76.

This is from Scott’s Biography

Scott Adams held, in his words, “a variety of humiliating and low paying jobs” during his eight years at Crocker National Bank and eight years at Pacific Bell. He’s been a bank teller (robbed twice at gunpoint), computer programmer, financial analyst, product manager, commercial lender, budget manager, strategist, project manager and pseudo-engineer. During this time Adams entertained himself during boring meetings by drawing insulting cartoons of his coworkers and bosses. Eventually a bespectacled character named Dilbert emerged from the doodles. In 1988 Adams mailed some sample comic strips featuring Dilbert to the major cartoon syndicates. United Feature Syndicate plucked Dilbert out of thousands of submissions received that year and offered Adams a contract. Dilbert launched in about 35 newspapers in 1989. Adams continued his day job at Pacific Bell until 1995, drawing Dilbert at 5 a.m. everyday before work. Now Adams devotes his entire day (and much of the evening) to Dilbert, He is the co-owner of two restaurants: Stacey’s Café and Stacey’s at Waterford, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dilbert is published in over 2,000 newspapers, in 65 countries. Adams has 35 books in print – over 10 million sold – including two number-one New York Times best sellers.

The First Post wins the award for the best blog title of the month! It describes its self as an “online magazine,” a daily digenst of the UK’s daily print news papers. Like all my choices it does what it says on the tin it is indeed a complete digest of the UK’s news. Better than that, it is filled with insightful and interesting editorial and opinion. A top and professional site.

Grow a Brain is a great example of a link blog, its not so much about the comment or opinion it is, and you may of noticed my bias, simply a fantastic eclectic collection of interesting notions and ideas from around the web. I do have a criticism when I first came across this site I have to say I simply moved on. Why, the mention of real estate at the top of the page. This doesn’t exhibit some xenophobic feeling toward estate agents, coming from the UK and living in New Zealand I could be excused a few! No I merely clicked away because I didn’t want to read about real estate. My loss but I am very glad that we have now rediscovered each other and I am very happy to recommend it as a top read.

Grow a Brain blog is worth $475,907.22.

Future Cave Paintings This is another personal favorite of mine. It could d be called “doodles” in that its a collection of visual bits and bobs, cartoons, doodles and its a great way to spend a few moments flicking through. It will save a fortune for you if like me you impulse buy those tiny novelty books at the till in bookshops.
